Wonderful Double Room Experience

soft towelcomfortable bedparking ticket
My double room included soft towels and very comfortable beds. I greatly appreciated the immaculate room. The owner provided a parking ticket, which I found quite useful given the proximity to both the beach and town center.
I found the stairs to my room to be slightly winding.
Location
9/10
The hotel is a short walk from the beach. The hotel is also within a five-minute walk to the main town area. It is a great location if you are planning on visiting the local attractions.
Rooms
9/10
My room had all that I needed, including an en suite bathroom. The room was warm and cosy, especially during the cooler evenings. The bathroom had a nice design and everything seemed new.
Dining
8/10
I noticed that the hotel provides limited milk in the room for tea and coffee. There are some cafes near the facility, including one across the street, which I found helpful. I was aware that I could not bring hot, smelly food into the room.
Facilities
10/10
The owners were available and happy to chat. Claire and Steve were a lovely couple, and they were very cute, which I appreciated. The hotel provides parking tickets. They are available to purchase from the owner.

Excellent stay in comfortable room

polite staffcomfy bedslate check-in
The staff was very helpful and polite. Our room was clean and i liked it alot. The beds were comfy. I really liked that the room had a fridge.
There were a few phone calls asking how far away i was when i was stuck in terrible traffic. They dont do late check ins. The rules told to me after a long journey and after paying seemed much.

Our double room had a comfy bed and a fridge. It was cleaned daily by the friendly staff. The provided ensuite bathroom was a good size, but space for moving around was a little limited.
